Customer Reviews Kork-Ease Myrna 2.0

My feet are more on the medium/wide side and the footbed on these is on the medium/narrow side. I have bunions, high arch and In-step. Straps didn’t bother my bunion and would break in easily. Unfortunately the footbed being narrow cut in under my bunion. Another issue for me was the back straps dug in under my ankle where the straps cross. May not be a problem after they’re broken in. These cute sandals would have been perfect for my trip to Europe if the footbed was a tad wider.

I love these shoes. I have two pairs. They’re very comfortable and I can wear them for 12 hour work days no problem. Beware: once you’ve worn them enough, they start to smell really bad... I think it’s the cork footbed

I'm a 9.5 usually and had to choose between a 9 or 10 and chose wrong with the 9. If you're in between I'd recommend going a size up. I had to return them since they were small so don't have a whole lot to say about the shoe, but they were cute and I imagine the right size would be pretty comfortable.

Excellent fit from day one; did not need a break in time period. There is an arch support that for some I could see it being too hard and uncomfortable. The leather straps are comfortable; did not dig into my feet. No rough edges or rubbing. I wear a 7.5 M in shoe, 8 M in boot, sometimes a 7.5 W for some brands of sandals. I like a roomy area for my toes and ball of the foot, and this sandal provides that. The cork foot bed is comfortable. My feet did not stick to them. The heel height is excellent for standing and walking, not too high, yet, gives you a bit of a lift. I could see this sandal wearing well with skirts, shorts, slacks, jeans. I wore them with leggings too. I expect these sandals to last me longer than others that I might have spent less money on.

I purchased these a year ago, but have only worn them a couple of times because every time I considered wearing them was too much walking for a new shoe. I really still like the look of the shoe and the fit is good for my average foot. The shoe has given me a blister on my left big toe both of the times that I worn it. I find the quality to be very generic. it’s pretty much a cork bed with very little give With leather straps thrown on it. There doesn’t seem to be thought to foot or walking mechanics involved here.

I love these sandals, however, the backstrap is not adjustable and just too wide for my narrow heel. Even with the adjustable strap tightened, I felt like I could almost walk out of these. So disappointing!

I liked these sandals so much that I bought them in tan, turquoise and black. I was so hopeful that I had found a sandal I could wear everywhere. They are comfortable, though for me they could be maybe a 1/4 inch higher in the heel. My biggest issue, and why I will not buy Kork-Ease again is that they don't hold up. I have to buy two pair each time I buy a shoe due to having two different size feet - my problem & not related to the shoe. But..............when the shoe isn't durable, it is doubly disappointing. And I will point out that I bought the turquoise and the black at the beginning of the season and In a few short months they are disreputable looking. The cork soles wear badly. The elastic on the buckle stretched out ridiculously and had to be replaced by my shoe repair guy. The leather on the straps is soft and stretches out. I had the elastic replaced on the tan shoes and now I have to replace the elastic on the blue shoes. The foot lining on the black shoes is slippery and feels like pleather. For the price, they were a gigantic waste of money.

I have narrow feet and these fit too narrow !

The shoes seemed narrower than normal sandals, which was good, but the arch support digs into the arch of my foot and is very uncomfortable. The shoes also squeak when I walk.

I really liked the look of shoe but there was a place on the arch that was just too uncomfortable for me. I originally ordered a 7, I normally wear a 7.5, and it was a bit small. The 8 was much better in length but still issue with arch. They are so cute on, bummed it didn't work for me.

I'm usually a 7, but found the 7 in these too small. Wish I'd gone with 7.5 The orange in real life is bright, garish, and ugly-- nothing like the photo of the product. Can't comment on the comfort because they were too small.

I have an average width foot and I have several other pairs of Kork-ease shoes. These have a particularly narrow footbed. Too bad! They are otherwise very nice.

My problem with Kork Ease is always the same. The 8, my usual size, is too small by a bit... big toe at the edge, and the 9 is significantly too big. I thought that perhaps this style, because of the raised foot bed, might be okay, but nope. Too bad. I love the iconic style and the materials. I need an 8 1/2. Earth to Kork-Ease! Please!

I was excited to try these; exactly what I was looking for and have a few pairs of Kork-ease. However they were too narrow. I actually have a narrow foot, if not regular, so I was surprised...the arch landed inside mine and my foot was hanging over the inside. Had to return them. Otherwise they are very cute... I had ordered the blue ones and love that the sole and heel were in blue.

I have narrower feet and this shoe was too narrow. Otherwise a cute shoe, especially in the gold/champagne color.

These were super cute, but they didn't fit right. Oh, Kork-Ease, please make half sizes! I have other pairs of Kork-Ease shoes - my size 7 boots are a bit too big, but I can wear thick socks, and my other size 6 sandals just fit. These size 6 sandals didn't work though because the foot bed is not flat and my foot didn't sit in it properly. I bet if they were the right size they would have been really comfortable, but alas, back they go.

Cute shoe, but it runs too narrow. I had to return it. = (

I am a big Kork Ease fan and generally sing their praises, however this pair unfortunately dropped the ball. The changes made to the footbed are disappointing...they have uncomfortably high and narrow arches now (and I have a relatively narrow foot; I can't imagine these on a wider foot). I had decided to wear them around to try and get used to the new fit, because I desperately wanted to have and to hold the beautiful ambiguous-gold pair I ordered. But when I took them off, the cork veneer on the footbed had rubbed away where my toes had been. I've never had that problem with Kork Ease shoes before. So between the cheap cork veneer and the uncomfortable new fit, these will have to go back. I hope that in the future the old Myrna 2.0 fit reappears; or perhaps, if the new fit is better for some feet, the Myrna Vachetta (which seems to fit the same as it used to) will become available in more colors.

I love these sandals but Korkease and have wore them for years. They’re comfortable and can be casual with shorts and worn with skirts and dresses. Now they’ve changed their sizes and the 38 is too small, it is now a 7. The 39 is an 8, too large. There’s no way to buy a 7 1/2. 38 used to fit perfectly. I’m very disappointed and will have to find another versatile and comfortable sandal.

Wow, what happened to Kork-Ease? The footbed is absurdly narrow and the hard edge of the inner instep presses uncomfortably into the arch of the foot. I wore these many decades ago and then again about 12 years ago. I know my feet have changed and aged but not this much. I still wear a medium width shoe and have never experienced a problem like this. Such a disappointment. Back they go.

I really wanted to like these but there were just clunky and the gold leather was an odd color.

Adorable shoes, but unwearably uncomfortable. The footbed cups the foot in such a way that the edge of the arch juts up painfully into the middle of my arches, leaving the rest of my foot to spill over the side of the shoe with no support from below. I don't have wide feet - in fact, I often find my feet to be narrower and lower profile than most shoes are designed for, but these "normal" width shoes are the first time in my life I've ever felt like a shoe was too narrow for my foot. Returned them and ordered the original Myrna style, which unfortunately no longer comes in the brown leather but at least has a fully supportive foot bed. Also the heel and footbed are only a "cork" veneer which looked like it would quickly peel away with moderate wear. I wanted to love these because it's so hard to find shoes in this style but I could barely stand in them for longer than a minute.

This review is for the Kork-Ease Myrna 2.0 in the Golden Sand color. I really wanted to love these sandals. They are a beautiful style and the color I got was amazing. They looked so good with a dress! They do run on the narrow side and the leather is really stiff but that wasn't the deal breaker. It was the fact that after an hour or so of wearing them around the house to break them in, the left shoe started to squeak. I would have taken the chance that they leather would soften up with wear but I am not paying $140 for sandals that squeak!

I was so excited to see this shoe available this year. I bought them last year and the moment I put them on - I didn't want to take them off! The leather was dreamy soft, the footbed was deelish. No breaking in necessary. I could even sprint in them if needed - they were so comfortable and stable. (I didn't - but I could have. You know - a girls got to be able to sprint sometimes.) Unfortunately, 3 months in, the sole - into the cork - split so I returned them. Ever so sadly. I rushed to purchase them again this year - not quite knowing what to expect from "2.0". Here's what's different. They reinforced the buttery soft leather straps with a second layer of hard, chaffing - and more restrictive leather. An addition I don't believe was necessary. The footbed is also more slim and smaller - the arch hitting higher than where it should. It is definitely a narrow footbed. Since they only do full sizes - I'm completely SOL. I'm used to wearing 7 to dance in and expect that from an open toe shoe. An 8 for this shoe would be too big for me. So sad.
